cheney416 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I saw this lebanon fish fossil (maybe Aipichtys sp?) On website, and i planning to buy this but i'm worried its head has made by man. its head looks little weired and unnatural. I never saw fish heads looks like this. Anyone knows about its right id or why it is fake?(or why it is natural one) Thanks. Sorry for bad quality pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramon Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 It’s hard to tell, but it does seem odd. "Without fossils, no one would have ever dreamed that there were successive epochs in the formation of the earth" - Georges Cuvier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepTimeIsotopes Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 It looks like the one @Fossildude19 ID’d a little while ago in this thread. Lebanon has Diplomystus birdi. Your pictures or the fish seem to be compressed horizontally. 4 Each dot is 50,000,000 years: Hadean............Archean..............................Proterozoic.......................................Phanerozoic...........

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Not sure, but I think real. Merry Christmas. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhead9 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I think it is real, but that the head has been enhanced with paint. The color of the head looks somewhat redder than the rest of the skeleton. 2 Still Life Fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 It's definitely real. Looks like an Aipichthys sp. to me. Not sure about painting, but the fossil is definitely real. Nice fossil.

Pemphix Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 @oilshale may know... For me looks real, but the fotos are not the best and i'm not an expert on fishes esp. from lebanon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
